Qualified Mountain Leader based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have spent many years exploring Scotland's wild places, hiking, biking, capmping, and adventuring all over the country. Now I enjoy showing visitors Arthur's Seat - a little piece of wilderness in the heart of Edinburgh. Join me as I share my love of mountains, nature, wildlife, and history, while hiking up Edinburgh's highest hill.

Tour description

Climb a mountain in the Centre of Edinburgh
with a qualified Mountain Leader

Arthur's Seat is Edinburgh's highest hill. It sits at the centre of Holyrood Park, with its summit 251 m (823 ft) above sea level.

You will meet your guide at the end of the Royal Mile - the main street in Edinburgh's historic Old Town - and pass the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the King's official residence in Scotland. 

The sounds of the city quickly disappear as we enter the park and begin to scale the hill. We avoid the crowds as we take a scenic route, with plenty of chances to stop, admire the view, hear the birdsong, and immerse yourself in this tranquil natural landscape. 

Your guide will lead you up a safe route to the summit, as there are many paths to choose. 

On a clear day, the summit offers a 360 degree panoramic view of the city, the castle, the sea, and the hills beyond.
